Snoop Dogg says Seahawks star Marshawn Lynch doesn’t smoke weed

Not that we’re saying we’re surprised … but rapper and famed stoner Snoop Dogg says that, despite having a strain of marijuana named after him, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch does not smoke weed.

Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, recently brushed off a TMZ cameraman (see video below) who asked whether Lynch tokes. The Seahawks star is buddies with Broadus, who is well known as a cannabis aficionado.

But Broadus was familiar with the fact Lynch has a strain of marijuana named after him. As seattlepi.com reported in January, a Seattle pot business followed up its popular “Beast Mode O.G.” strain from last year with a new “Beast Mode 2.0” — aka “Beast Mode Blue Fire” — variety for the Super Bowl XLIX run this past winter.

“My homeboy got a career to play,” Broadus told TMZ. “He’s still in the NFL. He’s got a commissioner to deal with. Somebody named it after him.”

“Marshawn does not smoke allegedly?” TMZ’s interviewer said.

“No, he does not. I do it for him,” Broadus replied. “I need to go try some of that Beast Mode. … I’m gonna go try some of that for ya. I will let you know. As a matter of fact, I’ve got some do-it fluid right now.”

And, with that, he whipped out a long joint, stuck it between his lips and lit up.
